Awareness. Mindfulness. Visual guide to developing mindfulness and meditation based on 12 bestsellers

Have you ever tried peeling potatoes, immersing yourself in the task with full presence and strength? Have you tried playing with a child the way children play: setting aside thoughts of work, forgetting about the phone, and wholeheartedly engaging in building a LEGO castle? Have you tried listening to your partner, focusing on their words, emotions, voice, rather than your own thoughts?
 
Unfortunately, for most of our lives we live on "autopilot", existing more in our heads than in reality. What is happening here and now can almost never distract us from a dialogue with our inner critic or the worry of a failure that happened a year ago. It is not surprising that real life brings us so little joy.
 
Mindfulness, or being present in the moment, is the ability to be here and now, feeling the fullness of life. This skill not only makes us healthier, happier, and more resilient to stress, it returns our life to us — those hours and minutes we did not fully live, getting lost in our thoughts.
 
This book is a detailed guide to mindfulness: from the body, emotions, and thoughts to actions and relationships. It includes summaries of 12 global bestsellers and 12 infographics on the most important topics related to mindfulness and the ability to perceive life in all its fullness.
